Wow 4 weeks vs my 23 weeks!!! No changes I assume? What about length of time remaining in the current authorization... was it set to expire soon?
Ya. it's bullshit anybody has to wait that long. No changes made and my registration wasn't up until February 28th. When I was at my Dr in August we just decided to do my renewal early incase there was any delays.

My application was received by HC on May 11th and I'm still waiting .I call every week and get the same "it's being processed".I wonder if they delay large counts intentionally.Anyone get approved here yet with more then 20gs/day?

They are likely trying to contact your doctor to force them into lowering it, word is that is what has been happening to large scripts because the government believes no one needs more than 3g/day.

So u would be allowed like 100 indoor or more? Wow!
Mine took 6 months to the day sent to the day I opened the mail and it was there, if it's being processed it will come eventually. That is a high prescription but if your doctor says that's what you require it should be none of their business. Unfortunately you will have to wait for the paperwork just like the rest of us.

Shit, looks like I'm calling them tomorrow as they received my renewal on Aug 10th and i haven't heard anything back. Gotta track down the bloody number
Good luck. I have a feeling the time taken to proses the app has a lot to do with How fast HC can reach your Dr. I called to inquire about two weeks ago and the lady on the phone said they app had been received and they had already confirmed with my Dr so it won't take long at all.

According to my Dr my registration of 4g a day is considered high as far as HC is concerned and nobody is getting scripts fir more then 5g a day. He didn't believe me when I told him about my good friend with a registration fir 30 a day......I wasn't about to argue with the guy I just wanted him to sign the papers so I could get out of there haha.

Just got off the phone and got the "being processed" response. They told me they take the previous license expiry date into account and it should be done and mailed before then. We'll have to see how that all pans out

That fits with my experience. For the DG application it had expired, and the patient got a new prescription 1 month after the old one and DG papers had expired. That "renewal" application took only three weeks to process when I sent it in. My personal application has been 4 weeks and nothing, but I renewed it three months early.

I guess what this means, is that you should send your application in like a month before expiry if you want fast turn around and don't want your script back dated three months like mine will be! Or better yet let it expire and get it in three weeks. What a shit show.

That is a crock of shit. I can see new users being started on a low g/d....makes no sense for someone who's been using for any length of time....it's like saying a person can only have 10 mg of morphine whether it helps or not....flawed logic...and who fucking cares what health Canada thinks....they are not my physician.

I need the larger amount so I can grow SOG (49 plants per light) and not have to be forced to grow monster plants that take 2x the time to harvest. Not my problem HC decided to tie grams to plant count.

I don't know where he gets his info but that's what he was telling me. I personally know 5 people with registrations over 10gpd in the Acmpr. Only the one had to pay big bucks.

That's probably what HC would tell you to do.

Fucking right, it is wrong that a bureaucratic dictatorship should be allowed any say in the treatment of patients. I also need 150 rooted clones on a 4x6 in 3 inch cubes rooted and put into 12/12 day 1.

Who is this stupid know nothing bureaucracy that knows nothing about what kind of buds I need for my medical use? Why am I beholden to them???? Superman where are you now?????!!!
